Product Description

To celebrate Blackstar's 5th anniversary they are launching a special, limited edition HT-5 2x10 combo. Based on the award winning HT-5R, the HT-5TH has the same patented features but with a unique cosmetic-cream covering, anniversary weave fret cloth and limited edition front panel. Each unit will also come with a unique certificate. This is limited world-wide production run.

Innovative Combo Amp

The Blackstar HT-5TH is the ultimate studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two channel, footswitchable valve amp format.

ISF Control

The patented ISF control works with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls to give you access to infinite sound possibilities from the USA to the UK and everywhere in-between. This fully interactive control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find the sound in your head.

Two Footswitchable Channels

The Blackstar HT-5TH has two channels available for selection, a Clean channel and an Overdrive channel. Using the Gain control while on the Clean channel you are able to deliver everything from a clean sound through to a crunch tone. Alternatively you can select the Overdrive channel and again using the Gain control, change from a clean sound on the edge of breakup right through to a distorted lead tone.

External Speaker Output

The external speaker output on the HT-5TH allows you to connect further extension cabinets. The output marked 1x16 Ohm is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extension speaker cabinet (or the internal loudspeaker of the HT-5 combo). The outputs marked 1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm are for the connection of either a single 8 Ohm extension cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets. Also, the internal loudspeaker of the HT-5 combo can be plugged in here if it is used with a 16 Ohm extension cabinet

Reverb Control

The Blackstar HT-5TH's Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase the amount of reverb.

"Great practice amp"

Overall:
I bought this because I love Marshall Slash tone and I sometimes play some old school metal. I play this thru a Gibson Les Paul with Burstbucker 1&2 Pickups.
I use an MXR custom badass overdrive and I change the 12ax7 to a Tun-Sol gold pin.
After I changed the tube it changed the am and I get this wicked dark JCM 800 growl with the ISF at 3'oclock. I keep th gain at have and hit it with the overdrive. Both pickups are articulate and bluesy. Im impressed with this amp. It was good with the stock tube but it great with the Tung-sol. It doubles the gain so you can run it low and get a killer crunch. I will have this amp for a long time. I love it!

Overall:
This amp is incredible. I am a working musician, and guitar instructor. I have played on a lot of amps. And the tone that comes out of the Blackstar, hands down beats everything I have played on, in this price range. You cant go wrong with this amp. Kudos to Blackstar, you have become my new amp of choice.
